KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (1 October 2026)
UF PRO has introduced the Monsoon X Tactical Rain Jacket and Tactical Rain Pants, a new lightweight hard-shell system developed for sustained operations in heavy rain, wind and foul weather.
The Monsoon X is UF PRO’s lightest hard-shell rain system. It combines 100% waterproof protection with a lightweight, low-bulk 3-layer laminate that stretches in two directions. This provides greater freedom of movement while maintaining compatibility with body armour, backpacks and other tactical equipment.
The Monsoon X Rain Jacket weighs 0.80 kg in size L, while the Rain Pants weigh 0.60 kg in the same size. Both garments provide waterproof, windproof and breathable protection and are easy to pack and deploy as weather conditions change.
“Rain protection should never get in the way of the job. With Monsoon X, we focused on reducing weight and bulk while adding stretch, so professionals can keep moving comfortably with the rest of their gear, even during long periods of heavy rain,” said Dejan Kastelic, Head of Research and Development at UF PRO.
The jacket features long ventilation openings that release excess heat and provide direct access to equipment worn underneath. Its helmet-compatible hood uses the UF PRO Hood/Harness® system to follow the wearer’s head movements, while removable air/pac® shoulder inserts improve comfort when carrying backpacks, plate carriers and other equipment.
Designed as rapidly deployable overpants, the Monsoon X Rain Pants feature full-length side zippers that allow them to be put on or removed without taking off boots. A modified UF PRO Waist/Flex system and detachable suspenders help maintain a stable fit during movement. Adjustable lower hems and integrated boot hooks secure the pants over footwear in wet and windy conditions.
With their combination of low weight, 2-way stretch and packable construction, the Monsoon X Rain Jacket and Rain Pants provide a more mobility-focused option for professionals requiring full protection during prolonged exposure to severe weather.
The new Monsoon X garment system will be available from 15 October 2026. Learn more: ufpro.com/int/c/foul-weather-gear.
